If the tank was "brimmed", then the weight carried would be the tank maximum volume divided by the fuel density.

Multiplied not divided: 100L weighs ~81kg. Weight and balance is one of the first things a student pilot learns, before going cross country. But I do wonder how people can read that and apparently not notice.
